Hi, my name is Brandon and I decided last night that I was quitting chewing tobacco. It hurt my relationship with my beautiful girlfriend. I've tried to quit before, but this time it's different. I'm doing it for me. I used to try and quit for her and it didn't work. I felt like she was trying to change me and I used to be offended by that. Now I understand that she was just looking out for the best of me. I got to the point where I lied about chewing to her. When I hung out with her I would start to get headaches and crave tobacco. She thought that she was doing something wrong in our relationship. The reason I feel good about quitting is because it's hurt me so much.it also helps that I have been able to talk and open up to my girlfriend even though we are on a break.
This first day has been for the majority easy. I have had some cravings and headaches. They are bearable. The only thing I'm worried about is how I feel after work tonight. I just have to stay headstrong. I know the worst of it is yet to come. I'm ready for it, so bring it on!
